Original Soundtrack "Umi no Tamashii" ["Spirit of Sea"]

CD No:

Total length:

57:28 (35 tracks)

Music, as well as cover images by Takada Akemi, is the saving grace of
this disastrous anime, which did no justice to the original novel -_-
The music is composed by an avant-garde guitarist, Jinmo. Many of the
track titles use philosophical/Buddhist term and, therefore, I am not
very sure about their translation. Inoue Azumi, famous for her Totoro
songs, sings one song here, which is very good ^_^

'gedatsu' is a Buddhist term, meaning
"emancipation from worldly attachments" but I used
"enlightenment" to keep it simple.
